State.

¶23

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Complaint Case vide C.R. No. 289 of 2020 instituted under Sections 147, 149, 341, 323, 379, 380, 452, 448, 354B, 504, 506 of the Indian Penal Code.

¶24

As per the prosecution story, the complainant alleged that the accused, Anoj Roy (petitioner No. 3) since deceased had taken loan of Rs. 25,000/- and failed to repay and when she was working at her home on the particular day as she saw him, she asked for the money which resulted into him abusing the complainant whereafter the accused persons assaulted and further allegation is of taking away certain amount as also outraging the modesty.

¶25

Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that there is a case and counter case and for a passage between their home, certain altercation took place on that day and the same has been exaggerated and the complaint has been filed. The further submission is that main accusation was against Anoj Roy who is unfortunately no more.

¶26

Learned APP on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail stating that Anoj Roy had taken the loan and having failed to pay the same, she was asking for the return of the amount,

infuriated, assaulted the complainant side.

¶29

Be that as it may, the main allegation is against Anoj Roy who is now no more and regarding other accused persons, they do not have criminal history, the allegation of assault is there, although but no injury is on record and ultimately, they will have to face the trial, this Court is inclined to extend them privilege of anticipatory bail.
